Yes I used search! couldnt come up with anything usefull... Anyone have any proven gains for the air box mod? Dyno?

If not anyone have a rough est of gains?

5-10hpMAX probably.

yes the airbox mod sounds like a nice cheap alternative. i'd go with the injen.

basically the same as an intake..use the search button (the air-box mod section good one to read up)

not much worth mentioning just a cool sound

....

u should get a intake...... airbox mod is ghetto....

I am ghetto son!

No not really just a newfie that wants something for nothing you should know that sam... we will do the hardest thing just to save some money and then in the end just go buy the real thing anyway...

lol i guess lol

just buy a quality filter and take the bottom off your intake and use another method to keep the filter secure.

probably 5whp or less.. but thats not bad for $5. if you really want to get an extra pony or two i would heat wrap the entire stock plastic intake tube, then do the ABM.

i doubt that would do alot to be honest.
the intake doesnt even get warm on hard runs.

not to mention heatwrapping that entire thing would be quite expensive.

yeah i cant see heat wrapping helping at all.

219whp - Stock
224whp - Airbox mod

That's what I did; 14" zip ties FTW! No one can see it unless the car's on a lift anyway.

I freaking LOVE the sound, but I believe I also saw decent gains at the track (in trap speed), though since I didn't run both setups the same night, I pretty much won't have any credibility if I state my gains. I'd do it and save the rest of the cash for something else!

Edit - My car was a Stage 2 when I did this mod.

This was the first thing I did to my car. I dropped a solid .3 in the quarter. Similar weather conditions on both nights.

uhhhh.....

.3 in the 1/4 mile?
I'm sorry but that is extreamly hard to believe. Maybe you just drove a lot better when you went back to the track..

yeah im sorry, but maybe 5 horsepower will not drop you .3 in the quarter mile. How can you even compare any two single runs? so many factors go into your track times

.3 seconds would probably be around stock vs. stage 2

injen injen injen injen injen injen injen injen

i already have my filter on the way so another method right now is out of the question... this thread was for gains not advice...

That sounded a bit ignorant but i couldnt find a nice way to say that? hmmm ever have that problem? dont take it officensivley(sp) its just the way it came out. lol

but seriously tho...i am an asshole nahhh just joking














But seriously tho...

seriously though, when i meet u, and u dont have a intake, i'm stealing ur filter muahahaha!

^^^ :lol:

while your steeling my filter, ill be unbolting that nice CAI you have while doing this :nuts:

:o !!!

I know there are more factors than just the airbox. But it helped me drop my ET. .3 seconds is roughly 30HP (from what I'm used to seeing). Obviously it wasn't all from the airbox. Maybe someone put a sticker on my car somewhere and I didn't notice.:lol:

ok, here is what i vote for...i vote a vendor makes a bracket to secure a high flow stock style filter in the box using the original mounting hardware....it would be simple, just a stamped piece of steel with a few holes in it...and they could sell it for like 10 bucks plus shipping

all i did when i did mine, was put an aem DRYFLOW in there, and take the bottom cap off the airbox, and replace it with some mesh which i screwed right back in there.

i had the airbox mod and the k&n and xtc cai ..with the airbox mod i didnt notice a difference over the 2 intakes that ive had except for a little better throttle response and the s/c was way louder with the intakes over the airbox mod...

i have done the air box mod and then dynoed it and it gave me 213
